Chapter 609: Mutiny in the Liao Army
At the beginning of Yulei Mountain, Xiao Duolubu was able to say such things, not only because he didn't believe that Ye Yu had such incredible ability, but also because of his profound hatred for the Jin Kingdom and Western Xia.
Compared with the grievances and hatred between these countries, the Song State has always been the little brother who was oppressed, and the Khitans of the Liao State at that time also got along well with the Han people.
However, it was the Jurchen tribe, a later fishing and hunting people, that completely destroyed the originally powerful Liao State, and finally had to flee to the northwest with the remnants of the Khitan tribe.
Although the Khitan people have developed quite well in the northwest over the years, the bitter cold and resentment of the original homeland are by no means forgotten for decades.
At the same time, in the battle of the Western Xia, the treachery of the Western Xia party was also the root of the Western Liao Khitan people's contempt.
So instead of letting him join forces with Jin Guo to deal with Song Guo, Xiao Duolubu felt repulsed from the depths of his heart, not to mention that the object he had to calculate now was his best friend.
Now that the shape has been brewed, Xiao Duolubu's heart at the moment can be described as extremely contradictory!
If he followed the empress's will to attack Ye Yu's Song army with Jin Guo, it would fulfill his name as a loyal minister, but it would also make him bear a guilty conscience!
Although no third party knows about this treacherous act except for him and Ye Yu, it is a kind of torture of shame for him Xiao Duolubu.
But if he takes care of his friends, then he will bear the responsibility of disobeying the imperial power!
It was difficult to choose for a while, and it was this entanglement of love that made the army stop to rest when it marched to Shiyang Town, because he needed to stop and think about it.
At this moment, a figure broke in without being transmitted, and it was the vanguard general of the Liao army [Xiao Pu Gu Shali].
"What?"
"How long will our army rest?" Although Xiao Pugu Shali tried his best to suppress his tone, the dissatisfaction in his heart was already overflowing.
"What's the hurry, since it was Jin Guo's strategy this time, let them fight first, why should we rush forward?" Xiao Duolubu put his hands behind his back and turned to look at [Xiao Pugu Shali].
[Xiao Pu Gu Shali] was sarcastic in his tone, and said coldly: "Brother, don't you still care about your friendship with Ye Yu?" ”
"Huh? Are you questioning me? ”
"Last time, it was because of my brother's concerns that the plan to go south was blocked, do you still want to ignore the interests of my Da Liao this time to secretly help a despicable Southern Barbarian?"
"Shut up!"
Xiao Duolubu didn't expect his younger brother to talk to him like this at this moment, and even pointed at the other party angrily: "Pu Gu is only shali, please pay attention to your words!" ”
"What, angry? It seems that I guessed correctly, you are so stagnant, or do you care about selfishness, do you know that this behavior has chilled the hearts of all the soldiers!? ”
"Bastard! Ben Shuai has long said that the enemy of my Da Liao is not the Song State, but the Jurchen and Xia Party of the Jin State, and now the alliance with the Jin State is simply a tiger skin, is this kind of behavior of forgetting the classics and forgetting the sect, doesn't it chill the hearts of my Khitan people? ”
Not to be outdone, Xiao Pugu Shali immediately countered and swept: "Hmph! The survival of the fittest, we Khitans are a nation on horseback, and we should understand this truth better! The Song Kingdom is weak and vulnerable, so it should be trampled on by the strong! ”
"The Jurchen untouchables have damaged my century-old foundation of Daliao, and my Khitan people will naturally not forget it, but after annexing the Xia State and the Song Kingdom, I will fight with the Jurchen Untouchables, this is the strategic plan set by Her Majesty the Empress, and it should also be the criterion for my Xiao family to be loyal to the country!"
"Pu Gu only Shari, you! ……”
"Do you want to deny the will of Her Majesty? Big brother, as the king of Dongping, don't be pampered!? ”
This sentence seems to be a well-intentioned persuasion, but it directly pokes Xiao Duolubu's key point, because Xiao Duolubu is the most taboo about his being crowned the king of Dongping.
In the world of feudal male superiority and inferiority of women, Xiao Duolubu, the king of Dongping, is obviously not very glorious.
It is all women who rely on their husbands to be expensive, so that they will feel more face-saving for the patriarchal society, but now Xiao Duolubu is a husband and a woman, and it is unspeakably expensive, and he has directly become the king of Dongping.
This feeling is even more uncomfortable than the princess, although the princess is somewhat angry when he marries the princess, but at least the princess can't have several husbands.
But now Xiao Duolubu's wife is the Empress of Western Liao, although she is not as faced-in as Wu Zetian, but his reputation as a male queen is something that people talk about in private.
Because of the taboo, so don't talk about it, now [Xiao Pugu only Shali] pokes at the point, how can Xiao Duolubu stand it, and immediately moved the real fire: "The general is outside, the king's order is not affected, today this marshal will clearly reply to you, this time my Western Liao army will not only flank the Song army, but also assist the Song army to exterminate the Jin soldiers!" ”
"You disobeyed the emperor's order, then don't blame the brother for being unsympathetic!"
"What, you still want to do the opposite!?"
[Xiao Pugu Shali] smiled coldly, but he was even more gloomy: "You are wrong, it's not that you are a brother, but that you Xiao Duolubu disobeyed the emperor's orders, and even mobilized a large army to help the enemy army without authorization, this kind of behavior is tantamount to complicity!" ”
"Humph! It's not your turn to teach Ben Shuai a lesson, get out! ”
"Big brother, you're wrong!"
"Huh?"
"It's you who should get out!"
"You ......"
Xiao Duolubu was about to speak, but saw all the officers and soldiers in the army rushing in.
"You ...... this"
Looking at Xiao Duolubu, who was stunned, [Xiao Pu Gusari] glanced back at everyone slightly: "You have all heard it, this is the reason why General Ben asked Er to listen outside the tent!" The king of Dongping is now loyal and impure, and it is difficult to be the commander of the three armies! ”
"Xiao Pugu is only in the sand, you dare to gather all the generals in the army without permission, what are you going to do!?"
"What to do! Big brother, you should understand! ”
[Xiao Pu Gu Shali] said, took out the secret decree from the wooden box held by the guards on the side, and said sarcastically: "This is the empress's private decree, just to restrain you and prevent my brother from doing something rebellious!" ”
"You! Treat each other with sincerity as a brother, and never hide anything, I didn't expect you to ......"
At this moment, when Xiao Duolubu was angry, he suddenly understood a lot.
He knew that he had slowed down the march privately, and his own brother secretly played it to the empress Yelupu. The reason why he is so sure is because he has only told [Xiao Pugu Shali] alone.
It is precisely because of this incident that there is this secret decree!
"Come, take down Xiao Duolubu, the king of Dongping, for me, temporarily confined to the military camp, and escorted back to the capital after the war to await trial!"
[Xiao Pu Gu Shali] held the holy decree, and ordered all the sergeants to step forward immediately, wanting to arrest Xiao Duolubu. However, it was blocked by the two guards in the tent, Xiao Tianhua and Xiao Tiandu.
[Xiao Pugu Shali] looked at the two coldly, frowned, and said, "Do you want to rebel?" ”
"Stand down!" The two were about to answer, but they were stopped by Xiao Duolubu behind them.
Xiao Duolubu then raised his eyes to look at [Xiao Pugu Shali], but he left the Chinese army's tent without saying a word.
A handover and succession of rights is so simple to reveal, but in this it is a brotherly feud that has been brewing for many years, as well as a deeper power struggle.
When [Xiao Pugu Shali] sat in the big tent of the Chinese army, he couldn't help but sneer.
"Handsome ......"
"Huh? What do you call me? ”
Yelu holmium in the tent faced [Xiao Pu Gu Shali], bowed down and said with a smile: "Naturally handsome!" ”
"Hahaha, that's good!"
[Xiao Pugu Shali], who was in a happy mood, then looked at Yelu Hao: "Yelu Hao, do you think it is more appropriate for Ben Shuai to place King Dongping?" ”
"Uh, Da Shuai means ......"
[Xiao Pugu Shali] sighed and said meaningfully: "The reason why groups of cattle and sheep can be raised on this grassland is because after the aquatic plants are eaten on the branches and leaves, they will still send out new sprouts for the cattle and sheep to eat in the next year, General Yelu, why do you say this?" ”
"The Admiral understands!"
